   I actually don't know whether the intent is to attach that boilerplate:
it certainly isn't present in the I-D.

   I quite agree that -6to4-to-historic doesn't satisfy such a statement;
and I don't believe the IESG process for Informational track documents
gives any assurance of "consensus of the IETF community".

   In the interests of truth in advertising, perhaps we should be
looking towards boilerplate more like:
" 
" This document represents the consensus of the V6OPS WG...

   (Disclaimer: I date from when RFCs didn't claim any sort of consensus;
and I'd be happier if we simply avoided such claims on Informational
track RFCs.)
